Dominique: “Angel you have to confront him! This is ridiculous!”

Ciara: “I agree you’ve been snooping for a couple weeks and it’s time, either follow him and catch him in the act or confront him.”

Me: “I know…..I know. I just don’t want it to be true guys…..Jason and I have been together since high school……….he’s been really my only serious boyfriend…”

I know my friend’s love me and want to help. Honestly though, I’d rather crawl in a hole and die.  The last thing any girl wants to think about is her boyfriend possibly cheating on her.  My boyfriend Jason and I have really been together since high school, it’s been four years. That’s a lot to just throw down the drain! I thought we had a great relationship, but I started noticing little things that started to bug me. Like his phone blowing up almost all the time, being secretive and dismissive, didn’t seem interested in our normal stuff anymore.  At first when I told the girls I wondered if he was planning a surprise proposal, after all it’s been four years!  They said he’d never come to them to help plan anything though, and then when I thought about it, he always changed the subject when it came to getting married. So, then we made the agreement he had to be cheating. 

Ciara showed me this app you can download onto someone’s phone and it will track their location and send you copies of their text messages. We’ve done that for a couple weeks now.  Jason currently works as a teacher at Horizon High School. His location never goes anywhere unusual, so we decided it had to be another teacher at the school. The copies of messages I received all were under the contact “Horizon”.  I remember seeing that name come up on his phone and always just thinking it was the principal or a teachers group chat about the school.  Obviously it wasn’t.  There wasn’t pictures sent, I believe that was all done on snapchat maybe, but the message were never about school. 

Dominique: “When’s the next time he’s staying late at work?”

Me: “Today actually”

Ciara: “We can drive you! We’ll do a stake out!”

This is obviously a horrible idea, but I really need to find out.

Dominique: “That’s a great idea”.

Ha ha. Oh God. I couldn’t help but smile. These girls have known me for years and they are my true ride or dies.

“Ok well it’s only 2:00 now so I’ll run back to the apartment and grab something to act like he forgot something he needs. Swing by and get me ok?”

We left the coffee shop. The apartment I shared with Jason was only a few blocks away so I walked it.  It’s hard to believe that just 2 years ago we moved into the apartment to start college together.  We all grew up a little farther out of the city, although this isn’t really the city center either.  We just moved closer so we could get to the college without driving so far everyday. Jason studied to become a teacher and I graduated with a Associates Degree in Radiologic Science.  It means I take x-rays and I also do CAT scans.  When Jason and I started hanging out together with all our friends that’s all he talked about was becoming a teacher and helping under privileged kids.  I thought he was amazing, I couldn’t keep my eyes off him or the smile off my face whenever he was in the room.  He was the typical boy next door football player.  We did everything together after we became official.  Moving in together felt easy and comfortable. 

I got to our building and took the elevator to the fourth floor. It’s a simple two bedroom apartment nothing to fancy since we didn’t have a lot money when we moved in and currently paying student loans.  I thought this was a next great step.  I was completely wrong. I had tears in my eyes as the girls texted me saying they were downstairs.  I grabbed a couple random things and threw them into one of Jason’s duffle bags.  I jumped into Ciara’s car and we took off. 

Since Jason knows all of our cars we decided to park a couple blocks away and walk up to the school.  It’s a large high school, has close to 2,000 kids if I had to guess.  As the brick building came into view I felt like throwing up.  We walked up to the building and I noticed his red mustang still in the parking lot. 

Dominique: “Ok, we’ll wait right out here for you. Call us If something happens.”

Ciara: “You can do this Angel, we’re right here.”

I took a deep breath and walked into the building.  When you walk in there’s a window and a door that leads to the principal’s office and where the receptionist sits to buzz people into the rest of the building.  I gave a little smile to the older lady, Debra, at the window and she buzzed me in. “Hornet Pride” posters hung all over the walls. My stomach was in knots, I was trying to breathe but it wasn’t easy.  I made it to his door, “Mr. Jason Garrett”.  It was open when I tested the handle, I gave a small knock and entered.  The room was actually empty and I was surprised.  I suddenly heard people coming and without thinking ducked under his giant wooden desk at the front of the class. I could feel all the air leave my lungs as they entered.

I could hear a woman giggling as he was trying to quietly shush her.

“If you get too loud they will be onto us…..you were almost too loud last time”

“I can’t help it Jason…..I can’t contain myself when I’m around you”

I was trying to hold all my angry tears in. I balled my hands into fists and dug my nails into my skin to keep from crying.

I could hear them kissing as they were shuffling toward the desk.

“God Brie, you look so sexy, you have no idea how hard it is to keep my hands off you during the day”

“Imagine how hard it is for me! Living a girls fantasy about being with the hot teacher!” 

I felt a thud on top of the desk, he must of lifted her up to sit on the desk.  I held my breath. I could hear them still kissing. I couldn’t handle it anymore, this was all the proof and then some. As I started to get out from under the desk I could hear his pants unzipping. 

“WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE??!!” I screamed as I jumped out from under the desk.  We all gasped a second later.  There he was, pants unzipped and almost down, a hard on and some blond hair and boobs sitting on the desk, in a skirt way to small to wear in a school. 

And that’s when I noticed it. She wasn’t a teacher, she was a student. She looked at me and then quickly away.

“Oh my God” When Jason finally spoke it was just above a whisper.  I didn’t give him any chance to say anymore, I ran out of the building. 

I hit the doors and screamed “Get in the car!”  Dominique and Ciara didn’t ask questions and followed behind me to the car. 

“Go!” I yelled as we all piled in.  “Ok what the hell happened in there?!” Dominique yelled whipping around in the seat to look at me. Ciara took off like a bat out of hell in that car. I’ve probably never seen her drive so fast.

“We were right….he’s cheating on me…..but it’s worse….” I couldn’t hold the angry tears in anymore. I was disappointed and sad but mostly just angry. What could I have done to deserve this?

Ciara: “What would possibly be worse? Was she pregnant?”

Dominique: “Holy s**t….you don’t mean..??”

“It was a student, not a teacher”

Dominique mouthed the word wow and Ciara let out a low whistle.
